I am compiling a list of (rare) things for sale. An app-antiquarian note.
Having put various things up for sale, I felt the lack of generalizing information.
Apparently, it is advisable to make a list of things for sale.
What things to include in such a List?
Cutlery and crockery may have signs of rarity. But they do not have a date of manufacture, and they are clearly not made of silver.
To include documents in such a List?
One of the documents - a certificate from the century-old past - he easily took a place on the sales internet site.
Another document (a certificate of consent for the return from evacuation (back) to Rostov-on-Don (in 1944) of Zalesskaya Yu.A. and of her son Vladimir) was sent by the internet site staff for additional consideration. And then this document disappeared without any trace and without any explanation.
The inclusion of documents from the past in the list (and the very possibility of selling them through websites) - this theme needs to be thought about (and to make an appropriate decision) additionally.
To mention furniture, books, tools, etc. in the list?
Perhaps it makes sense to mention a book with the author's autograph ... Or maybe not.
I will start compiling a list by a listing coins made of white metal (presumably out of silver).
Most of them I once accidentally bought from strangers in the supermarket. These people looked like visitors from the former Soviet republics. They mentioned an imminent departure by plane from the airport in Rostov-on-Don (where they are going - they did not say this). For some reason, they chose me as a potential buyer.
After a while, I assessed my act as impulsive and ill-considered.
Time passed, and circumstances forced me to start selling these coins.
In my opinion (as an ordinary participant in the commodity circulation), all these coins (or most of them) are made of silver. But I don't often deal with things made of silver, so I can't say with absolute certainty. Chemical analysis of the metal and examination of authenticity were not carried out.
I inherited two (several) coins. They are with a 99 percent probability to be genuine and are made of silver. This is 50 kopecks of the first years of Soviet power. Perhaps (as one of the options), they were received in the form of wages (or received as change during some purchases) and were placed [were put] on the shelf of the kitchen cabinet - from the edge (did the Soviet inhabitants try to at least somehow secure their future?).
I'll start by listing in the List of coins made out of white metal. And whether to list other things in it - I will decide this question later.
... If I compile the List, then it makes sense to include in it 50 kopecks of the RSFSR of 1922 and poltinnik (50 kopecks) of the USSR of 1924.
I compose, respectively, two sale announcements and place them on the sales site.
'50 kopecks of the RSFSR, 1922( silver). The obverse contains the coat of arms of the RSFSR in the center with the classic images of a hammer and sickle. The background is the sun's rays. All this is depicted on a shield, on the sides of which are wheat ears. The coat of arms is enclosed in a frame of raised dots.
The reverse. In the center is a five-pointed star with a circle in the middle, occupying almost the entire area. In the circle you can see the number "50", denoting the denomination of the coin. The year '1922' is engraved between the lower star rays, indicating the period of issue of the coin.

'Weighs of 1 silver poltinnik (50 kopecks), 1924, is 9 grams of pure silver.
The obverse. The entire field of the coin is occupied by the figure of a hammerer (blacksmith) with a sledgehammer raised above his head. In front of him on the lower right is an anvil. In the background are a plow, sickle, gears. Below, under the line representing the floor, the date of manufacture: "1924". Along the circumference, along the edge, a line consisting of dots is drawn.
The reverse. The upper half of the field is occupied by the coat of arms of the Soviet Union... On the sides of the coat of arms are the initial letters of the name of the state: the USSR. Two on each side... Below, under the wide line, the inscription of the face value of the coin: "One poltinnik".
